Tap to rate
🌍 Germany · Festbier · One of 37 Festbiers in hopIQ

Brewed for Easter, Whitsun, the village fair and Christmas at 13.5 °P, with a golden to golden-brown colour. The malt is broad and bready, with a light malt sweetness in the first sip. A fine hop aroma rounds it off, turning distinctly grassy towards the end, and a moderate bitterness balances the fuller body so the beer stays easy to drink despite its strength.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with broad malt character—bready and slightly sweet—layered with a delicate, grassy hop aroma. The malt foundation dominates the opening, with herbal and green notes gradually asserting themselves as the beer warms.

◐ Taste

Malt-driven palate with pronounced breadiness and gentle sweetness on entry, creating a full body that belies the moderate strength. A fine noble hop bitterness arrives mid-palate, turning distinctly grassy as it develops, and balances the malt's weight without harshness, leaving the beer remarkably easy to drink.

◑ Finish

Clean, moderately long finish with grassy hop notes lingering softly. The aftertaste remains dry and refreshing, with a touch of residual malt sweetness that fades gracefully.
